# http_proxy=http://localhost:8081 gem1.8 mirror

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Zlib::DataError)
    incorrect header check

Same with rubygems.org

   Same issue here:

   $ cat ~/.gemmirrorrc

   ---

   • from: http://gemcutter.org to: /data/rubygems.mirror

   $ /site/apps/ruby/bin/gem --backtrace mirror --verbose fetching: http://gemcutter.org/Marshal.4.8.Z
   ERROR: While executing gem ... (Zlib::DataError)
   

   incorrect header check

   This is especially frustrating since Marshal.4.8.Z is supposed to be updated as of yesterday.

   Argh...it updated, something must have gotten corrupted on the way there. I'll try running it again. The process takes 20-30 minutes and is realyl CPU intensive (needs to load all 80,000+ gemspecs into memory and then spit it back out). I'll keep this thread and the prior one updated on my progress.

   I get this doing the generate_index in a dir with all the gems from rubygems.org

   $ gem1.8 generate_index -V --update --no-legacy --modern .. stuff
   .. Complete
   Generated Marshal quick index gemspecs: 54.957s
   ERROR: While executing gem ... (RangeError)
   

   bignum too big to convert into `long'

   Am I the only one getting this?

    Hey folks, can you paste your gem env and ruby -v ? We're getting conflicting reports and some people are able to mirror successfully.

    The mirror command has been deprecated and removed from rubygems, so I'm going to go ahead and close this. Please try https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems-mirror.
